Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a document folder, with a cover, which can bind documents without perforating and does not mar its overall appearance while retaining a significant nipping force, and further, facilitates an attaching/detaching operation of documents. <P>SOLUTION: This document folder 1 includes a cover body 2 and a clip 3. In addition, a nipping piece 34 of the clip 3 is urged in the direction in which the nipping piece 34 rotates to a release position from a nipping position through a closest approach position (the R2 direction of Fig. centering around a hinge part 36) by the elastic restoring force of the hinge part 36. Besides, an almost rectangular opening 23 is arranged in the cover body 2, and the nipping piece 34 comes into contact with the document 10 directly through the opening 23, when the nipping piece 34 is located at the nipping position. When attempting to draw out the document 10, a strong force works to bite the document 10 and, in turn, the document 10 is nipped by an extremely strong force. In the meantime, an operating piece 35 covers the opening 23 when the nipping piece 34 is located at the nipping position. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a document holder, and more particularly to a document holder with a cover that can be bound without punching a document.

  For binding presentation materials and distributing them to customers, a document holder with a cover that can be bound without punching a document is used.

  As such a document holder, a “file” shown in Patent Document 1 is known. In this file, a binding tongue formed by cutting the front cover is provided, a concave and convex surface is formed on the relative surface of the tongue and the back cover, and a document inserted between the concave and convex surfaces is The clip is sandwiched between the binding tongue piece and the back cover, and is held by a frictional force using the elastic restoring force of the clip.

  However, in this file, although the binding tongue piece in the form of being cut off from the front cover by cutting is provided and the holding force is increased by providing the uneven surface, any of the clip holding pieces is a document. Since there is no direct contact, there is a risk that the clamping force will be insufficient.

  On the other hand, in the “file” shown in Patent Document 2, since the document is directly pressed by the plate-like elastic body through the openings provided in the left and right doors, the holding force is greater than that in Patent Document 1. There is little risk of shortage.

  However, in any of the examples, the notch (Patent Document 1) and the opening (Patent Document 2) provided to increase the clamping force are visible from the outside, so that they can be used for distributing presentation materials. There are difficulties.

Further, in any example, in order to increase the clamping force, it is necessary to increase the elastic restoring force of the clip (Patent Document 1) or the plate-like elastic body (Patent Document 2). If it tries to do, the dimension of a clip (patent document 1) and a plate-like elastic body (patent document 2) will become large, and after all it is not desirable in appearance. Further, when the elastic restoring force is increased, there arises a disadvantage that it becomes difficult to perform the document attaching / detaching operation against this.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-337987 JP 2002-46383 A

  This invention solves such problems in the prior art, is a document holder with a cover that can be bound without making a hole in the document, without damaging the appearance while having a large clamping force, and An object of the present invention is to provide a document holder that can be easily attached and detached.

  A document holder according to the present invention includes a cover body having a first cover and a second cover, and a clip for sandwiching a document inserted between the first cover and the second cover in the vicinity of the binding edge of the cover body. The clip holder is capable of receiving the cover body in the vicinity of the binding edge of the cover body, and a cover body receiving part for fixing and holding the received cover body, and the clip is rotatable with respect to the cover body receiving part. And an open position where the document is not pinched by being retracted outside the cover body receiving part, and a holding position for entering the cover body receiving part and sandwiching the document between the inner wall for pressing the cover body receiving part, and an open position A clamping piece that is configured to take the closest approach position between the pressing position and the inner wall for pressing between the position and the clamping position, and is biased in a direction to rotate from the clamping position to the open position via the closest approach position When, An operating piece that is fixedly coupled to the holding piece and that rotates the holding piece. The cover body has an opening in the vicinity of the binding edge of the first cover, and the holding piece is in the holding position. Sometimes, the holding piece is configured to directly contact the document through the opening, and the operation piece is configured to cover the opening when the holding piece is in the holding position.

  The features of the present invention can be broadly shown as described above, but the configuration and contents thereof, together with the objects and features, will be further clarified by the following disclosure in view of the drawings.

  A document holder according to a first invention of the present application includes a cover body having a first cover and a second cover, and a clip for sandwiching a document inserted between the first cover and the second cover in the vicinity of the binding edge of the cover body. And. The clip includes a cover body receiving portion, a holding piece, and an operation piece. The cover body receiving portion receives the cover body in the vicinity of the binding edge of the cover body and firmly holds the received cover body. The clamping piece is supported so as to be rotatable with respect to the cover body receiving part, and is open to the outside of the cover body receiving part so as not to hold the document, and to enter the cover body receiving part to press the cover body receiving part. It is configured to take a clamping position for clamping a document between the inner wall and a closest position that is closest to the inner wall for pressing between the opening position and the clamping position, and is opened from the clamping position through the closest position. It is urged in the direction of turning toward. The operation piece is fixedly coupled to the holding piece and rotates the holding piece. The cover body is provided with an opening in the vicinity of the binding edge of the first cover, and when the holding piece is in the holding position, the holding piece is in direct contact with the document through the opening. The operation piece is configured to cover the opening when the holding piece is in the holding position.

  That is, in this document holder, when the clamping piece is in the clamping position, the clamping piece to which the urging force is applied directly presses the document through the opening provided in the first cover, and at the same time, A piece is configured to cover this opening.

  Therefore, in a state where the document is sandwiched, a large clamping force can be obtained by configuring the clamping piece to press the document directly through the opening, and in this state, the opening can be covered with the operation piece. Aesthetics can be maintained.

  Also, in this document holder, if you try to pull out the document while the document is being clamped, the clamping piece that is in direct contact with the document by the biasing force through the opening will be closest to the document due to the frictional force with the document. As it moves toward the position, the gap between the holding piece and the inner wall for pressing the cover body receiving portion becomes narrower. For this reason, when pulling out the document, a strong force works as if the document is bitten, and the document can be held with an extremely strong force.

  Therefore, it is configured so that the clamping piece comes into direct contact with the document through the opening without increasing the size of the clip as in the conventional document holder that increases the clamping force depending only on the elastic restoring force of the clip. By doing so, a large clamping force can be realized. Therefore, by configuring in this way, the object of the present application that does not impair the appearance while having a large clamping force can be achieved at a higher level.

  Furthermore, with this configuration, it is necessary to set the elastic restoring force of the clip to be large in order to increase the clamping force as in the prior art, and for this reason, the document attaching / detaching operation is performed against this elastic restoring force. There is no inconvenience that it becomes difficult.

  In this document holder, when the clamping piece is in the open position, the document is inserted between the first cover and the second cover, and then the operation piece is rotated to move the clamping piece to the clamping position. You can pinch the document. From this state, the operation piece is turned in the reverse direction to move the holding piece to the open position, thereby preventing the document from being held. Therefore, the document can be bound or removed with one touch without making a hole in the document.

  That is, according to the present invention, a document holder with a cover that can be bound without making a hole in the document, has a large clamping force, does not impair the appearance, and can be easily attached and detached. A holder can be realized.

  In the document holder according to the second invention of the present application, the opening portion of the cover body does not come out of the opening portion and stays between the first cover and the second cover even when the holding piece is in the open position. It is configured.

  Therefore, when the clamping piece moves from the closest approach position to the open position by the urging force applied to the clamping piece and / or the rotational operation force given through the operation piece, the first cover is lifted by the clamping piece, The gap between the first cover and the second cover is widened. For this reason, an operation for inserting a document between the first cover and the second cover is facilitated.

  In the document holder according to the third invention of the present application, the clip holding piece and the operation piece and the opening of the cover body are partially formed in the middle part of the binding edge of the cover body, and the cover body receiving part of the clip is bound. It is formed over the entire edge.

  Therefore, by partially forming the sandwiching piece, the operation piece, and the opening part in the middle part of the binding edge of the cover body, it becomes easier to attach and detach the document as compared with the case of holding the document over the entire binding edge, The appearance is also compact. On the other hand, by forming the cover body receiving part over the entire binding edge, it is possible to prevent the cover body and the sandwiched document from being bent in the middle of the binding edge.

  That is, it is possible to realize a document holder that is easy to detach and attach a document and that is compact in appearance, and that is difficult to bend the cover body and the sandwiched document.

  In the document holder according to the fourth invention of the present application, the clip further includes an attachment piece for a binding device configured to extend from the cover body receiving portion in the direction opposite to the cover body.

  Therefore, the document can be further bound into another binding tool while the document is held between the document holders. For example, if two holes are provided at a predetermined pitch in the binding piece adherent piece, the two-hole binder can be bound with the document held between the document holders. For this reason, a plurality of document holders can be bound together in one binding tool.

  In the document holder according to the fifth invention of the present application, the attachment piece for the binding tool is supported so as to be rotatable with respect to the cover body receiving portion, and is deployed in a direction opposite to the cover body and stored on the cover body side. It is comprised so that the storage position to be taken may be taken. Further, the clip further includes a binding piece locking piece locking piece provided on the operation piece. The binding piece attachment piece locking piece locks the binding piece attachment piece in the storage position when the holding piece is in the holding position.

  Therefore, for example, when a presentation material is bound to a single document holder and distributed to a customer, the binding piece is locked in the storage position by the binding piece locking piece, so that the compact state is achieved. I can keep it. On the other hand, when it becomes necessary to bind a plurality of distributed document holders into one binding tool, the locking by the binding piece for the binding tool is released, and the binding piece for the binding tool is removed. What is necessary is just to expand | deploy in the opposite direction to a cover main body.

  That is, it is possible to realize a document holder that is compact when used as a single unit, but can be easily bundled into a single binding tool as needed.

  First, a document holder 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 1 is a front view of the document holder 1. 2A is a rear view of the document holder 1 when the holding piece is in the open position, and FIG. 2B is an enlarged end view taken along the line IIB-IIB in FIG. 2A. 3A is a rear view of the document holder 1 when the clamping piece is in the clamping position, and FIG. 3B is an enlarged end view taken along the line IIIB-IIIB in FIG. 3A.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2A, the document holder 1 includes a cover body 2 and a clip 3.

  The cover body 2 is formed by punching a transparent or translucent synthetic resin sheet, for example. As shown in FIG. 2B, the cover main body 2 is integrally formed with a back cover 21 as a first cover, a spine 20 as a binding edge, and a cover 22 as a second cover in this order. When the document 10 is sandwiched, the cross section is creased so as to have a substantially “U” shape.

  The clip 3 is obtained, for example, by integrally molding a synthetic resin. The clip 3 holds the document 10 inserted between the back cover 21 and the cover 22 in the vicinity of the spine 20. The clip 3 includes a cover body receiving portion 33, a holding piece 34, an operation piece 35, a hinge portion 36, and a binding tool attaching piece 37.

  In this example, the cover body receiving portion 33, the holding piece 34, the operation piece 35, the hinge portion 36, and the binding tool attaching piece 37 are configured to have the same length in the same direction as the longitudinal direction of the spine cover 20. Yes. These lengths (that is, dimensions in the same direction as the longitudinal direction of the spine cover 20 of the clip 3) are configured to be smaller than the longitudinal dimensions of the spine cover 20 in this example. These cross-sectional shapes are substantially constant in the longitudinal direction except that a pair of through-holes 38 are provided at appropriate portions of the binding tool attachment piece 37.

  The cover main body receiving portion 33 receives the cover main body 2 in the vicinity of the spine 20 and firmly holds the received cover main body 2. More specifically, the front cover body receiving portion 33 has a first facing piece 31 that faces the back cover 21 of the cover body 2, a binding edge facing piece 30 that faces the back cover 20, and a second face that faces the cover 22. The opposed pieces 32 are provided continuously and integrally in this order, and their cross sections are formed in a substantially “U” shape so as to follow the shape of the back cover 20 of the cover body 2 in the vicinity. In this example, the first opposing piece 31, the binding edge opposing piece 30, and the second opposing piece 32 all have the same thickness (for example, about 1 mm).

  The inner wall of the cover body receiving portion 33 and the outer wall of the cover body 2 are fixed by, for example, high frequency welding. Of course, the inner wall of the cover main body receiving portion 33 and the outer wall of the cover main body 2 may be fixed only between a part thereof, for example, the front cover 22 and the second facing piece 32 facing the front cover 22. .

  The sandwiching piece 34 is supported so as to be rotatable with respect to the cover body receiving portion 33. More specifically, the sandwiching piece 34 is attached to the cover body receiving part 33 via a hinge part 36 having a thin shape, for example, a thickness of about 0.3 mm, formed at one end of the first opposing piece 31 of the cover body receiving part 33. The hinge portion 36 can be rotated around the hinge portion 36 by elastic bending deformation.

  The sandwiching piece 34 rotates around the hinge portion 36, thereby retracting outside the cover body receiving portion 33 and holding the document 10 (a position indicated by a solid line in FIG. 2B), and the cover body receiving portion 33. A holding position (position shown in FIG. 3B) where the document 10 is held between the inner wall (pressing inner wall) of the second facing piece 32 of the cover body receiving portion 33 and the opening position and the holding position. It is configured to take a closest approach position (a position indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 2B) closest to the inner wall of the second opposing piece 32.

  And the clamping piece 34 is urged | biased by the elastic restoring force of the hinge part 36 in the direction (R2 direction in a figure centering on the hinge part 36) from the clamping position to the open position through the closest approach position. ing.

  2B, the pinching piece 34 is expressed as interfering with the inner wall of the second facing piece 32, but in reality, the pinching piece 34 is It is comprised so that it can escape upwards in a figure.

  The operation piece 35 is fixedly coupled to the holding piece 34 and rotates the holding piece 34. More specifically, the operation piece 35 and the holding piece 34 are continuously and integrally coupled in the vicinity of the hinge portion 36, and their cross sections are configured to have a substantially “H” shape. In this example, the operation piece 35 and the clamping piece 34 have the same thickness (for example, about 1 mm). The thicknesses of the operation piece 35 and the clamping piece 34 are substantially the same as the thicknesses of the first facing piece 31, the binding edge facing piece 30 and the second facing piece 32.

  As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the above-described cover body 2 is provided with a substantially rectangular opening 23 in the vicinity of the back cover 20 of the back cover 21 and in the approximate center in the longitudinal direction of the back cover 20. The dimension in the same direction as the longitudinal direction of the spine 20 of the opening 23 is slightly larger than the dimension in the corresponding direction of the holding piece 34 of the clip 3 (for example, about 0.5 mm to 10 mm larger, preferably about 2 mm to 6 mm larger). It is comprised so that it may become.

  The dimension of the opening 23 in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the spine 20 is such that when the holding piece 34 of the clip 3 is returned to the open position, the holding piece 34 is not obstructed by the edge of the opening 23. The dimensions are set so as to go outside. More specifically, the planar projection distance between the tip of the holding piece 34 and the edge of the opening 23 when the holding piece 34 of the clip 3 is returned to the open position is about 0 to 6 mm, preferably about 1 mm to 3 mm. It is configured.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, the holding piece 34 is configured to directly contact the document 10 through the opening 23 when the holding piece 34 is in the holding position. The operation piece 35 is configured to substantially cover the opening 23 when the holding piece 34 is in the holding position.

  That is, in the document holder 1, when the clamping piece 34 is in the clamping position, the clamping piece 34 applied with an urging force in the R 2 direction is directly passed through the opening 23 provided in the back cover 21. The operation piece 35 is configured to cover the opening 23 at the same time.

  Therefore, when the document 10 is sandwiched, the sandwiching piece 34 is configured to press the document 10 directly through the opening 23 to obtain a large gripping force. In this state, the opening 23 is moved by the operation piece 35. The beauty can be maintained by covering.

  In the document holder 1, if the document 10 is to be pulled out while the document 10 is being clamped, the clamping piece 34 that is in direct contact with the document 10 by the biasing force through the opening 23 is connected to the document 10. The frictional force tries to move (rotate in the R2 direction) together with the document 10 toward the closest position indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 2B, and as a result, the gap between the clamping piece 34 and the inner wall of the second opposing piece 32 is reduced. Narrower. For this reason, when the document 10 is to be pulled out, a strong force acts as if the document 10 is bitten, and the document 10 can be held with an extremely strong force.

  Therefore, the clamping piece 34 directly contacts the document 10 through the opening 23 without increasing the size of the clip as in the conventional document holder that increases the clamping force depending only on the elastic restoring force of the clip. By constituting so, a large clamping force can be realized. Therefore, by configuring in this way, the object of the present application that does not impair the appearance while having a large clamping force can be achieved at a higher level.

  Furthermore, with this configuration, it is necessary to set the elastic restoring force of the clip to be large in order to increase the clamping force as in the prior art, and for this reason, the document attaching / detaching operation is performed against this elastic restoring force. There is no inconvenience that it becomes difficult.

  Next, the binding piece attachment piece 37 is configured to extend from the cover body receiving portion 33 in the direction opposite to the cover body 2. More specifically, the attachment piece 37 for a binding tool is formed continuously and fixedly so as to extend from the other end of the first facing piece 31 of the cover body receiving part 33 in the direction opposite to the cover body 2. Yes. In this example, the thickness (for example, about 0.7 mm) of the attachment piece 37 for a binding tool is thinner than that of the cover body receiving portion 33 and thicker than that of the hinge portion 36.

  In this example, a pair of through-holes 38 are provided at appropriate portions of the binding tool attachment piece 37. By providing the through hole 38, the document 10 can be bound into a two-hole binder (not shown) while the document 10 is held between the document holder 1. However, the size / shape / number of the through holes 38 and the size / shape of the attachment piece 37 for the binding tool are not particularly limited, and are suitable for the configuration of the binding tool (not shown) to be used. do it. Of course, depending on the configuration of the binding tool, the through hole 38 may not be provided.

  In order to hold the document 10 with the document holder 1, the following may be performed. First, the operation piece 35 is operated, and the clamping piece 34 is set to the open position shown by a solid line in FIG. 2B. In this state, the document 10 is inserted between the back cover 21 and the front cover 22, and then the operation piece 35 is rotated in the direction R1 in the drawing. Thereby, the clamping piece 34 moves to the clamping position shown in FIG. 3B through the closest position shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 2B, and can hold the document 10.

  From this state, the operation piece 35 is rotated in the reverse direction (R2 direction in the drawing), and the clamping piece 34 is returned to the open position through the closest approach position shown in FIG. .

  In this embodiment, the case where the first cover is the back cover 21 and the second cover is the cover 22 has been described as an example. However, the configuration as in this embodiment is preferable because the appearance when the front cover 22 is turned up is simpler as shown in FIG.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2B, the case where the binding edge is the spine cover 20 has been described as an example. However, the form of the binding edge is not limited to this. For example, when a front cover and a back cover are formed by folding one rectangular sheet at one fold line, the fold line becomes a binding edge. When one of the two rectangular sheets is a front cover and the other is a back cover, and one side is fixed to the cover body receiving portion, the one side becomes a binding edge.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, although the case where the attachment piece for binding tools was provided in the clip was demonstrated to the example, it can also be comprised so that the attachment piece for binding tools may not be provided in a clip.

  Next, a document holder 101 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  4A is a rear view of the document holder 101 when the holding piece is in the open position, and FIG. 4B is an enlarged end view taken along the line IVB-IVB in FIG. 4A. 5A is a rear view of the document holder 101 when the clamping piece is in the clamping position, and FIG. 5B is an enlarged end view taken along the line VB-VB in FIG. 5A.

  The document holder 1 and the document holder 101 are different in the following points. That is, in the document holder 1, as shown in FIG. 2B, the dimension of the opening 23 provided in the cover body 2 in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the spine 20 is the position where the clip 34 of the clip 3 is opened. The size is set so that the sandwiching piece 34 comes out of the back cover 21 without being obstructed by the edge of the opening 23 when returned to the position.

  On the other hand, in the document holder 101, as shown in FIG. 4B, the opening 123 of the cover body 102 does not come out of the opening 123 even when the holding piece 34 is in the open position. It is configured to stay between the back cover 21 and the front cover 22. More specifically, when the holding piece 34 of the clip 3 is returned to the open position, the edge of the opening 123 is positioned in the vicinity of the coupling portion between the holding piece 34 and the operation piece 35.

  Therefore, the clamping piece 34 is moved from the closest position to the open position (position shown in FIG. 4B) by the urging force applied to the clamping piece 34 and / or the rotational operation force in the R2 direction given through the operation piece 35. The back cover 21 is lifted by the sandwiching pieces 34, and the gap between the back cover 21 and the front cover 22 is widened. For this reason, the operation when inserting the document 10 between the front cover 21 and the back cover 22 becomes easy.

  The remaining configuration of the document holder 101 is the same as that of the document holder 1. Further, the variations in the document holder 1 are also applied to the document holder 101 except those that cannot be applied to the document holder 101 due to the nature thereof.

  Next, a document holder 201 according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 6 is a front view of the document holder 201. FIG. 7 is a rear view of the document holder 201 when the holding piece is in the open position.

  The document holder 1 and the document holder 201 are different in the following points. That is, in the document holder 1, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2A, the cover body receiving portion 33, the clamping piece 34, the operation piece 35, the hinge portion 36, and the binding piece attachment piece 37 of the clip 3 are connected to the back cover. 20 are configured to have the same length in the same direction as the longitudinal direction of 20, and these lengths are configured to be smaller than the longitudinal dimension of the spine cover 20. That is, they are formed only on a part of the spine cover 20 in the longitudinal direction. And these are arrange | positioned in the intermediate part (substantially center in this example) of the longitudinal direction of the spine 20.

  On the other hand, in the document holder 201, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the clamping piece 34, the operation piece 35, the hinge portion 36, and the binding tool attachment piece 37 of the clip 203 are the same as those of the document holder 1. Although it is comprised by the same dimension and is arrange | positioned in the same position, the cover body receiving part 233 is formed over the whole longitudinal direction of the spine cover 20. That is, the binding edge facing piece 230, the first facing piece 231 and the second facing piece 232 constituting the cover body receiving portion 233 all have the same length and are formed over the entire length of the spine cover 20. .

  In this manner, the sandwiching piece 34, the operation piece 35, the hinge part 36, and the binding tool attaching piece 37 are partially formed in the longitudinal intermediate portion of the spine cover 20 of the cover main body 2, so that the spine cover 20 Compared with the case where the document 10 is sandwiched in the entire longitudinal direction, the operation of detaching the document 10 is facilitated, and the appearance is also compact. On the other hand, by forming the cover body receiving portion 233 over the entire longitudinal direction of the spine 20, it is possible to prevent the cover body 2 and the sandwiched document 10 from being bent in the longitudinal direction of the spine 20. it can.

  The remaining structure of the document holder 201 is the same as that of the document holder 1. Further, the variations in the document holder 1 and the configuration and variations of the document holder 101 are also applicable to the document holder 201 except those that are not applicable to the document holder 201 due to their properties.

  Next, a document holder 301 according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 8A is a rear view of the document holder 301 when the clamping piece is in the clamping position and the attachment piece for the binding tool is in the unfolded position, and FIG. 8B is an enlarged end view taken along the line VIIIB-VIIIB in FIG. It is. FIG. 9A is a rear view of the document holder 301 when the holding piece is in the holding position and the attachment piece for the binding tool is in the storage position, and FIG. 9B is an enlarged end view taken along the line IXB-IXB in FIG. 9A. It is. 8B and 9B, illustration of the cover body 2 and the document 10 is omitted for convenience of explanation.

  The document holder 1 and the document holder 301 are different in the following points. That is, in the document holder 1, as shown in FIG. 2A, the attachment piece 37 for the binding tool of the clip 3 is fixedly provided to the cover body receiving portion 33.

  On the other hand, in the document holder 301, as shown in FIG. 8B and FIG. 9B, the binding piece attaching piece 337 of the clip 303 is supported so as to be rotatable with respect to the cover body receiving portion 33.

  More specifically, the attachment piece 337 for the binding tool of the clip 303 is a thin piece formed on the other end of the first facing piece 31 of the cover body receiving part 33, for example, a thickness of about 0.3 mm. It is supported by the cover body receiving portion 33 via the hinge portion 340, and the adherend piece hinge portion 340 is elastically bent and deformed so that the attachable piece hinge portion 340 can be rotated.

  The binding piece 337 is rotated about the attachment piece hinge 340, thereby unfolding in the opposite direction to the cover body 2 (position shown in FIG. 8B), and on the cover body 2 side. The storage position (the position shown in FIG. 9B) is stored. Then, the binding piece attaching piece 337 is urged in a direction (R3 direction in the drawing) to rotate from the storage position toward the deployed position by the elastic restoring force of the attaching piece hinge portion 340.

  Further, the clip 303 further includes an attachment piece locking piece 339 for a binding tool provided on the operation piece 335. More specifically, the binding piece attaching piece locking piece 339 includes the binding piece attaching piece 337 when the holding piece 34 is in the holding position and the binding piece attaching piece 337 is in the storage position. A hook is projected from an appropriate portion of the operation piece 335 at a position facing the end 337a. As shown in FIG. 9B, when the clamping piece 34 is in the clamping position, the end portion 337a of the binding tool attachment piece 337 is hooked on the binding tool attachment piece locking piece 339, so that the biasing force in the R3 direction is applied. On the other hand, it is possible to lock the binding tool attaching piece 337 in the storage position.

  In order to release the lock by the binding piece attaching piece locking piece 339, the end 335a of the operation piece 335 is resisted against the elasticity of the operation piece 335 itself and / or the elastic restoring force of the hinge part 36 is resisted. Then, it may be rotated in the R4 direction.

  Therefore, for example, when a presentation material is bound to one document holder 301 and distributed to a customer, the binding member attachment piece 337 is locked in the storage position by the binding member attachment piece locking piece 339, thereby reducing the size. It can be in a state. On the other hand, when it becomes necessary to bind a plurality of distributed document holders 301 into one binding tool (not shown), the locking by the binding piece locking piece 339 for the binding tool is released, The binding piece attaching piece 337 may be developed in the opposite direction to the cover body 2 by the elastic restoring force of the attaching piece hinge portion 340.

  In this embodiment, the binding piece attachment piece locking piece 339 is continuously formed in the same direction as the longitudinal direction of the spine cover 20 and the same length as the operation piece 335. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the length of the binding piece attaching piece locking piece 339 may be shorter than that of the operation piece 335, and the binding piece attaching piece engaging piece 339 may be arranged in the longitudinal direction of the spine cover 20. A plurality (for example, two) may be formed discontinuously in the same direction.

  The remaining configuration of the document holder 301 is the same as that of the document holder 1. Further, the variations in the document holder 1 and the configurations and variations of the document holder 101 and the document holder 201 are also applicable to the document holder 301 except those that cannot be applied to the document holder 301 due to their properties.

  Although the present invention has been described above as a preferred embodiment, the terminology has been used for description rather than limitation and departs from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Without departing from the scope of the appended claims. Also, while the above describes only some exemplary embodiments of the present invention in detail, those skilled in the art will recognize the exemplary implementations described above without departing from the novel teachings and advantages of the present invention. It will be readily appreciated that many variations in form are possible. Accordingly, all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.
